Groggy_Realm vs ?? - A UU Warstory.

I couldn't get into the Official Shoddy server, so I took my battle craving to the GameFAQs server, where someone was asking for a UU battle. I challenged him.

By the way, his name was actually two strange characters, but I don't remember what they were and I probably don't know how to do them.

2-1 Groggy_Realm

?? Fled!


PROPS:
- Typhlosion for being an absolute monster, KOing 3 Pokemon.
- My opponent for a pretty sweet UU battle.
- Meganium for staying sturdy and waking up when I needed it to.
- Me for winning =)
- Pikachu for getting some hax.
- His Golduck for being cool.

SLOPS:
- My opponent for leaving.
- Hitmontop and my Vespiquen for being pretty useless.
- Persian for being mediocre and not doing anything.
- Pikachu for not setting up a sub with encore and pwning everything.
 
That was kind of boring, I agree. I love UU battles as much as the next guy, but don't post one where the opponent leaves. Also, they need tight ends where you barely win by using strategy and/or prediction.

Hope I'm not being to harsh.
 
Whoever used that Vespiquen obviously doesn't know how to use it.

I run max attack on mine and use it as my Meganium counter. Megan is 2HKO by Attack Order.

Glad to see other users of it out there, though. :'D
 
Needs a LOT more commentary which doesn't state the obvious. Quite boring, no offense though. Also, I think Pikachu should have Nasty Plot for that extra boost.
 
Notice Typhlosion's Eruption did 51% to Golduck. Why didn't you stay in and finish Golduck off? Also, why is there a Typhlosion on a UU team?
 
Lefties. And Typlosion is UU according to Smogon's list on the Pokemon page.
Smogon's tier list is extremely outdated. Read the BL and UU discussion page more often. Generally, Typhlosion is now banned in UU, depending on who you're fighting.

And to quote ChouToshio, if Typhlosion 2HKOs Golduck with a move it resists (note CM Golduck and that 80/80 isn't terrible), I doubt it should be in UU.
